VETERANS

Ohio Northern University College of Law thanks all veterans for their service to our country and would like to assist students in taking the next step to become a successful attorney.

ONU Law believes that Veterans, like you, can apply the skills learned in the military for your legal education. Veterans who attend ONU Law find an exceptionally supportive community comprised of skilled professors who will help you succeed. Our incredible academic support program, high bar passage rates, low 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio, and guarenteed clincial placement programs provide students with the necessary skills to become prficient practitioners.

In addition to support within the classroom, Ohio Northern has committed to support Veterans financially as a member of the Yellow Ribbon Program. As part of the Yellow Ribbon Program, Ohio Northern University will cover 50 percent (up to $20,000 per year) of any tuition and fees that reamin after Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits have used by an eligible service member. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will then match Ohio Northern's contribution, which menas eligible military veterans can attend ONU Law tuition-free.
